CHAPEL HILL, NC — In a heartwarming celebration of love and commitment, North Carolina men’s basketball head coach Hubert Davis and his wife Leslie Davis are proudly marking their 26th wedding anniversary today. The beloved couple — who have become a source of inspiration not only for the Tar Heel community but for fans across the nation — are commemorating more than two decades of unwavering love, faith, and family.
The Davises, who tied the knot in 1999, have built a relationship rooted in mutual respect, spiritual grounding, and a deep bond that has stood the test of time. Coach Davis, known for his integrity, humility, and devotion on and off the court, often credits Leslie as his foundation and guiding strength.
In a touching public message, Coach Davis said, “I will grow older with you. Through every chapter, you’ve been my greatest blessing. Together forever, stronger than ever. Happy 26th anniversary, my love.”
Leslie, who has long been a quiet yet steady presence behind Hubert’s success, has stood beside him through his NBA career, his transition into coaching, and his historic appointment as the first African-American head coach in UNC men’s basketball history. Their journey together has become a shining example of what it means to be united not just in love, but in purpose and resilience.
Their marriage has also been a cornerstone for their family life. The couple shares three children, Elijah, Micah, and Bobbie Grace, and often speaks about the importance of faith, values, and community in raising their family.
Tributes and well wishes from fans, players, and fellow coaches have poured in across social media, celebrating the couple’s milestone. Many have expressed admiration for how the Davises continue to model love, strength, and partnership — both in private life and in the public eye.
As Coach Davis continues to guide the Tar Heels through the highs and challenges of college basketball, his home remains his greatest victory. Today, we celebrate not just 26 years of marriage, but 26 years of faith, unity, and love that keeps getting stronger.
Happy Anniversary, Hubert and Leslie Davis — your love story is one the world will always cheer for. 💙🏀💍
